New member first email

[Selsey]

hello I am a new member and not used to emailing. I have had scleroderma for 26 years and also osteoporosis. I have felt rather alone as only know one other person with this disease.It will be so helpful to be able to share with others.Look forward to belonging.

Pleased to meet you Selsey, grab a chair. This is a strange disease we're lumbered with and everyone experiences various symptoms to varying degrees so we're all a bit different but it really does help to share our experiences of symptoms and treatments and ways in which we cope. If you've any worries dump them here, someone will come to your aid.

Hi I know what it's like not to know anyone else with your disease, and have found a lot of help here, so you'll be among friends now and supported from now on. X

Hi Selsey, I agree with you, this is a lonely illness and if you tell people they have usually never heard of it. This is a nice friendly place and you won't need to feel lonely anymore. I have never felt better since joining. hope to hear from you soon. x
